- On Thursday afternoon, he emerged from hospital in the Indian state of Gujarat, where he had spent 15 days. He was monitored around the clock and, according to the medics who oversaw him, consumed no food and no water whatsoever.
No human should be able to survive such conditions unscathed — the lack of water alone should have killed him. But Mr Jani apparently suffered absolutely no ill-effects at all.
- We may never know the truth, but until he is exposed as a fraud, perhaps we should enjoy suspending our disbelief and give Mr Jani the benefit of the doubt.
After all, wouldn’t life be boring if everything was rational?
Anything is possible.
Edit: Something I find very interesting are how dilated his eye are. The only time I've seen eyes that dilated are when someone has just taken psychedelic mushrooms or LSD. Maybe he's on a true natural high?
This is the specific reason that I don't like these kinds of magic men. Even if he is able to survive without food and water for some (weird) reason, that doesn't mean other humans can as well. Yet I'm sure other people will "suspend their disbelief" and try to replicate his "survival technique." Which will not end well.‘These claims are very dangerous, because people try to follow these holy men and can end up hurting themselves.'
He isn't asking for what he's doing to be replicated, he's just doing it.
According to the article, the military is looking to replicate it. I'm guessing there are other people who want to forgo eating and drinking. EDIT: To clarify, he is not asking for people to replicate it, sure. But people will try to anyway. That is bad.
I wonder how many people who will try to replicated it will realize that it requires extreme spiritual devotion/practice, such as he's shown.
But it is a form of consumption. I think inedia in general is an extremely fascinating concept.
